Most Famous Libraries in the World
Trinity College Library
Designed by Thomas Burgh,the library is the largest in Ireland.Construction on the Long Room,the library's 65meterlong main hall,began in 1712 and lasted 20 years.The original structure only had books on the lower level,but when the library's shelves were filled in the 1850s,the ceiling was raised to accommodate even more books.Today the Long Room holds 200,000 of the library's oldest books.
Stuttgart City Library
Opened in 2011,the German library is a splendid lightgray cube consisting of glass blocks designed by Eun Young Yi.Inside it,you'll find an airy central room,above which sits a multistory stepped reading room lined with bookshelves.The library towers over the nearby buildings.
Library of Parliament
Taking the form of a Victorian Gothic chapter house complete with 16 flying buttresses,the 1876 Library of Parliament is one of Canada's prized architectural treasures—it's on the tendollar bill.Architects Thomas Fuller and Chilion Jones took inspiration from the British Museum Reading Room for the structure,lining the central hall with delicate wood shelves and wood carvings.
Rampur Raza Library
Founded in the late 18th century,the Indian library is home to a massive collection of Islamic and Asian texts and objects.The pink structure that houses the collection today was built in 1904 by Nawab Hamid Ali Khan as a mansion of IndoEuropean style.The Rampur Raza Library was later shifted to this grand building in 1957.

Wildlife photographer Sam Turley and his wife Vera found a twoweekold blesbok(南非白面大羚羊)—whom they named Meme—on her own.She was spotted wandering around on her own after her mother passed away.
The pair took Meme in and raised the animal themselves for seven months before releasing her back out into the wild.Neither of them had ever raised a blesbok before.So it required a huge amount of patience and compassion to keep her fit and healthy but it deserved the effort.Meme would follow Vera wherever she went and sometimes the couple would have a blesbok,a dog and a cat all walking together.In the right areas,the blesbok is a really common antelope to see and is therefore often overlooked and underappreciated.It was a privilege to be let into the blesbok's secret world and they learned more about the blesbok than they thought was ever possible.
After releasing Meme back out into the wild,the couple were convinced they would never see her again,until several months later when they were driving around a reserve and happened to come across a herd of blesboks.
Vera called out Meme's name in the hope of finding Meme.Blesboks all look very similar to one another,which makes it very difficult to distinguish individuals.When Vera started to talk,the herd raised their heads and looked over.Vera continued to call Meme and as all the other blesboks lost interest,one individual held her gaze and ran straight up to her.
After rescuing the lonely animal,Sam and Vera found it extremely emotional to have to release her back out into the wild to fend for herself—even though they knew it was the right thing to do.But after having such a strong bond with an animal,it was really difficult to see her go.They had put so much time,effort and energy into raising her but to see her walking in a herd of blesboks made it all worthwhile.
4.What happened to Meme when she was spotted?
A.She became an orphan.
B.She was lost in the forest.
C.She was hunted by a couple.
D.She was abandoned by her mother.
5.What was Meme's life with the couple like?
A.She was rare to be seen outside.
B.She was hard to be artificially fed.
C.She fitted in well with the whole family.
D.She was underappreciated in the family.
6.Which word can best explain the underlined word “fend” in the last paragraph?
A.Look. B.Care.
C.Search. D.Hunt.
7.Which of the following can best describe the act of rescuing the blesbok?
A.Effortless. B.Unsatisfactory.
C.Rewarding. D.Heartbreaking.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。野生动物摄影师Sam和妻子Vera救了一只两周龄的南非白面大羚羊并为其取名Meme,七个月后他们把它成功放归野外,几个月后再次与它意外相遇。
4.A [解析]推理判断题。根据第一段可知,野生动物摄影师Sam和他的妻子Vera发现了一只南非白面大羚羊独自在周围游荡,它的母亲已经去世。所以Meme在被发现时已然成了孤儿。故选A。
5.C [解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Meme would follow Vera wherever she went and sometimes the couple would have a blesbok,a dog and a cat all walking together.”可知,Meme在这个家适应得很好。故选C。
6.B [解析]词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“After rescuing the lonely animal,Sam and Vera found it extremely emotional to have to release her back out into the wild to fend for herself—even though they knew it was the right thing to do.”及上下文可知,夫妇俩把一个两周龄的南非白面大羚羊救回并抚养长大,最终要放归大自然,目的是让它能自己照顾自己。此处fend意为“照看,照料”,与care意思相近。故选B。
7.C [解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的“So it required a huge amount of patience and compassion to keep her fit and healthy but it deserved the effort.”和第二段最后一句“It was a privilege to be let into the blesbok's secret world and they learned more about the blesbok than they thought was ever possible.”以及最后一段最后一句“They had put so much time,effort and energy into raising her but to see her walking in a herd of blesboks made it all worthwhile.”可知,救下这只南非白面大羚羊以及之后的一切付出都是值得的。故选C。
